Oh my

So I just checked my Ao3 dashboard thing and, Noble Life as 1,000 hit?!? Holy shit, I wish I had a chapter five but I haven't had any motivation to write for Noble Life. I am working on another fanfic and am working on figuring out which tags I wanna use for it. But holy shit, I don't think I've had 1,000 hits/reads in a long time. But if you've read To Live a Noble Life, thank you.

Noble Life Update + Noble Six Headcanons

So Chapter 4 of To Live a Noble Life is up and ready to be read if you want to. It took me I think just over three months to finish this chapter. I couldn't finish the first draft of it so that was scrapped for something I love.

I have no words for how I feel about this chapter other than I love how it all ties into Six and their life with Noble.

But enough about Noble Team, I finally worked on getting all my headcanons sorted so I can start posting them without feeling confused about when it takes place. So here are some general Noble Six Headcanons.

Six will sometimes blankly stare at people for uncomfortable amounts of time. They mostly do this to see how people react, or they zoned out and don't know where they're looking.

Has joint pain in their right hand from catching a plasma grenade.

Blends into the background easily. You won't know they're there unless they want you to know. They can also make you forget they were/are there by just blending.

Six doesn't really smile, but when they do it's small, soft, and almost cat-like with how they always close their eyes while smiling around people they trust completely.

Their right hand has a different resting position after the Plasma Grenade. It's slightly closed, if they want it to be opened they have to think about it.

They also have a hard time feeling things with their right hand, so they have to check their grip on things.

That's all for tonight. Hope you liked these, and if you'd like to here's a link to Noble Life.

A new-ish oc for a new fanfic I'm working on. Their preferred name is Finley.

You can't really see it without zooming in but they have Lichtenberg scars on their left hand, arm, going over a quarter of their chest and back, up the left side of their neck, and it's supposed to cover half of their face but I forgot to do that. There are still scars on their face but not the right amount.

Noble Life Headcanon - Heights part 1: Freelancers

So one of the first things I had wanted to figure out was how tall the other Freelancers were next to Six. I first looked on the RvB Fandom wiki to see if there was any heights. There wasn't, so I went to find a good picture of all the main Freelancers standing together, and this is the one I picked to work with.

I loaded it into Clip Studio and added a height cart to it and lined the bottom of it up to the first 'level' of boots. North, Carolina, Wash, CT, and Florida aren't on that line, and South and York are crouched down. So I added a grid as well and figured out where South and York would stand at full height then lined everyone up on the chart.

And I quickly came to the realization that this wasn't the was to do it, at least not with this chart. Because there is no way that I'm the same height as Maine, there is no way that he's 5 foot 1. I refuse.

So I scrapped that method and worked on a different method. I can't tell you how I got the heights I did, cause I didn't write it down. I guess I just worked around Six's known height and still based on the picture, trying to keep the heights in line with the image, I found the height I liked the most.

Here are the heights I see the known Freelancers as, the first height is when/if they're out of their armor, and the second height is while in their armor which I think adds three inches.

Maine - 8'3" / 8'6" North - 6'9" / 7' Wash - 6'9" / 7' Wyoming - 6'9" / 7' York - 6'8" / 6'11" Noble Six/West Virginia - 6'6" / 6'9" Tex - 6'5" / 6'8" Carolina - 6' / 6'3" South - 5'10" / 6'1" Florida - 5'8" / 5'11" CT - 5'8" / 5'11"

There we go, I've had these headcanons for a year or more, and I'm glad to finally have the story going and to be sharing it all. I hope you like this and the ones to come.

Noble Six + Red vs Blue/Freelancer Headcanons.

Hi, I'm gonna start posting headcanons about Noble Six in a universe where they made it off Reach just before the glassing and got picked up by Project Freelancer.

I also have an on-going story about that universe on Ao3. So if you'd like to read more about them check it out.

[astral-gambit]

An image from a new story I'm working on.

The person in frame is my Noble Six. In this AU they survive Reach somehow, I'm still working on that part, and end up of the Mother of Invention from Red vs Blue. The hands belong to New York.

I'm happy with how everything turned out and I can't wait to get their story up. Once it is I'll add a link to it here.

Just a Halfa with some blorbs.

God, I love how this turned out, I was working on the next chapter of Half-Alive when I thought of this scene - Val on the beach with blorbs - and stopped working on the chapter to draw this. There isn’t any shading, I didn’t want to, but I might add it later.

Anyways, I love all of this, before posting this I thought the background was just lacking, but looking at it now it works. The lighting, the colors, the lines. I love it.

Also Val’s under shirt says ‘What’s Gravity?’, and the blorb on their head had ‘Nom Nom’ written next to it, and the one on their hand has ‘Munch’ next to it.

[astral-gambit]

this is a story I started a few months ago, I finally finished what the MC, Val, looks like so here they are.

I’m really happy with them, and how the story is going so far. Hopefully I’ll start the next chapter soon.

Akoia Concept art

Her hero outfit

If you have any questions about her feel free to ask. also the reason that the body isn’t a whole body is because I suck at drawing bodies right now.

[astral-gambit]

This is a character form a story I’m working on. Her name is Kinjo Sachi, Vigilante name is Astral Karma (for now, might change in the future)

I won’t say much more about the story, it’s on ao3, called Phantoms in the Sky by Astral_Gambit. There are 4 chapters published right now, and a 5th is in progress, but don’t expect consistent updates. 

This took me 6 hours and 23 minutes, plus however long it me to sketch it on paper. If it’s hard to read anything just let me know and I’ll try to fix it.

[astral-gambit]

Haven't been motivated to do anything for the past week or so. But I finally felt motivated enough to doodle so tattoo ideas mixed with a bit of a vent.

But absolutely no motivation to outline them or add color.

[astral-gambit]

Something.

I wish I could make myself feel anything but nothingness, emptiness, tiredness, and loneliness, without feeling like an attention seeking whore whose got nothing going in life.

I wanna be able to write, and draw instead of starting to then losing all motivation.

I wanna be able to make friends and not feel like I'm a bother and like I'm annoying them.

I wanna stop feeling like a giant waste of space and try to do something with my life...

But instead all I can do now is sit at my desk, my face down. And the only thing I can feel is the cold glass top, as I tell myself I'm being stupid, thinking about how sad I am right now, when I could have been given a hell of a worse hand at life. Than I feel worse because I'm being a bitch about life when I really have no right to speak.

❗AVOID THESE PEDOPHILES AT ALL COSTS! ❗

I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across a post of KNOWN PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR (many of which have or want to rape actual children/minors)

THERE ARE ACTUAL PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MINORS ON TUMBLR

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS LIST AND KEEP OUR MINORS SAFE

hey just a heads up/warning for those of you who don’t do well dealing with the heavy subjects or videos portraying violent acts, sandyhook promise has a new gun violence school shooting PSA that is probably going to be going viral and is slated to play on television and in AMC movie theaters and it’s pretty heavy, especially at the end. I know it’s a topic that needs to be discussed but it’s not a video that everyone will be able to watch, so just a warning for those of you that might not be able to handle it.
